Classic Yorkshire Pudding
Traditionally served with roast beef, Yorkshire pudding is actually not a pudding at all! Rather, it's a puffed pastry baked with meat drippings. People in the U.S. tend to think popovers and Yorkshire pudding are the same, but they're not. Popovers are hard and very airy, while Yorkshire pudding is softer and doesn't rise as high as a popover.
